Farmer’s Table, a thriving East County restaurant, will open a second location in Little Italy later this summer. Its owners, cousins Alberto Morreale and Vincenzo Loverso, are both veteran local restauranteurs — Morreale operates the Fig Tree Café locations around town as well as Farmer’s Bottega in Mission Hills and Loverso owns several Gaslamp restaurants including Greystone The Steakhouse, Osetra The Fishhouse, and Osteria Panevino.

The pair, who opened Farmer’s Table last year, hope to translate the restaurant’s success in La Mesa to Little Italy, where it will be part of H.G. Fenton’s new Piazza della Famiglia development. There, it will join the newly-announced Little Italy Food Hall as well as a European-style bakery and cafe.
